In each division to carry the war into

there was any one from Eagle Pass in

ment Is unripe and principles not firmly
fixed. American girls are peculiarly free
from restraint, and it is too often the case
that they dominate in the home, where
parental authority should prevail, and to
which they ought to be made amenable
so long as they are inmates of that home.
Espionage is not necessary, but every
household should be governed by fixed
laws, and the government of the family
like every other have its head to whom
all coming within its protective care
should give answering allegiance. Were
this the case there would be fewer heart
aches and fewer heads bowed in humilia-
ton over wayward daughters and willful
sons. No daughter from such home
would wish to wed a convict, or give way
to the sickly, senseless sentimentalitles
of sending notes, bouquets and dellca-
cies to murderers and robbers.

AToKA, l. T., Jan. 1.-THE Farmers

An organization of over two hundred
members has been effected In the Chicka
saw nation.
An officer was in this town few days
ago taking bids from the merchants here
tor supplies of provisions, clothing, farm

and some bids went pretty low, at least
such is the general report.
Gov. Mckinney has removed to Meal

to reach them. This new departure by
Gov. Mckinney is highly commended.

claims established, little houses built

claims is largely practiced, and causes "a

by the former, he will consider the well

will allow the influence Of no interest to
turn him from the right path of justice.
Or the several questions adverted to in
the address as needing legislative atten-
ton, none goes in importance beyond
that relating to the best disposition al
control of the public school lands. THE
GAzETTE's position in this respect is well
known. The governors recommends
tons may be read and ascertained. The
end sought in each case is the same,
which is, the settlement OF the West with
men who will till the soil, and who may
own it, if they will. Gov. Ross plainly tells
his people that the existing system of
leasing the public lands is incompatible
with this end, and he tells the legislature
how, in his opinion, that end may be
reached.
The twin evils of corporate monopo-
ly, greed and evasions Of duty, and of
VI u
fed element in our population are con-
demned with unspsring severity. The
railroads are told, with a conciseness
that will make the advice easily remem-
bered, that sit behooves them to cult
vate proper respect for the law in the
people by an exhibition of proper respect
for the law IN themselves" If they heed
this advice it will be good for them.
Things of comparatively minor import
ance do not fail of their share of atten-
ton. The cause of public education is
urged; industrial and reformatory schools
for the young are commended; an i'm
proved system of counting and ascertain
ing the vote at public elections is consid-
cred worthy of attention, and other mat
tiers of public moment are disposed of
with propriety.

IT Is related in history that one of the
kings of Spain persisted by fire, because
no one who was present, by the etiquette
of the Spanish court, was justified in
touching his sacred person. Emissaries
flew in every direction, but before the
proper grandee could be found the I'M
fortunate king became the victim of fire
and red tape. A story not more incred-
ible comes through an exchange, and as
fully demonstrates want of sense, of
appreciation for service rendered. A fire
broke out on the government wharf near
Detroit, there was no help save tug
boat, which came to the aid of the officer
in charge and put out the fire, thereby
saving the government several thousand
dollars worth of property. For this
valuable service the captain of the tug
rendered bill of $40, which the officer
paid and forwarded to Washington for re-
endorsement. The account was thrown
out of the auditors office for the reason
that such an expenditure was unauthor-
ICED by law, and that the formula required
was not complied with before contract
ing for the work. Officers il charge of
government property will please take no.
tice, that in future wher a fire breaks out
involving the destruction of such prop
erty they comply with the laws require
ments in the matter of advertising, re-
ceiving proposals, sureties, ETC., and be
allie to show that the work had been let
to the lowest bidder. In the meantime,
fire and other destructive agencies are
expected to defer their action out of re-
spect to the United States government.

Americans can hardly regret the termina-

ideas of wifely qualities which are cher

of England choose to kiss butchers to Sc
cure their vote, or resort to other IN
seemly practices, is no rule of action Tor
a woman reared in this new land, where
casting off the effete practices of old ma
tions, new life is to spring forth from its
virginia. soil, unsullied by contact with
the prsctices of those nations who in the
pursuit of place and power, have laid
aside the homely virtues of primitive life.
